Some of you may have noticed an addition to our landscape - a heart sculpture was installed between Chase and Ruth Leverton Halls on Friday, March 10.
NEBRASKA BY HEART is a Public Art Project sponsored by Boys Hope Girls Hope and the Sadie Dog Fund, and is endorsed by the NE 150 Celebration. It is a not-to-be-missed component of the Nebraska Sesquicentennial and a destination for millions of appreciative (Nebraska, national and international) visitors!
The Sponsoring organizations reflect grass-roots Nebraska values and hope to raise funds and awareness about their goals. Boys Hope Girls Hope is an international organization whose Mission is focused on helping academically capable and motivated children-in-need to meet their full potential by providing foundations for scholastic success, opportunities to explore their interests, and support to enter into and graduate from college. The Sadie Dog Fund is a Lincoln organization which celebrates the human-animal bond. Through education, prevention and veterinary grants, it works statewide with Nebraska veterinarians to provide the necessary funds to keep dogs, in emergency medical situations or with special needs, alive and in their homes with the families that love them. This offers an alternative to neglect, euthanasia or surrender.
